Part my reason for coming to Russia again is that our NVCC Loudoun Workforce colleagues, Keila, Nick, and Cathy have been working tirelessly at developing an on-line class in English conversation for Russian students at SVRIA. It was ready for a trial run with the entire English faculty here, led by my colleague, Galina at SVRIA, taught by Cathy. We had been planning on Thursday evening here in Russia, Thursday AM in Signal Hill. Our "massive" snowfall in Virginia ruined our plans. We'll have to reschedule without me attending the pilot in Russia, but I am confident that all parties are prepared. The Russians had been looking at the DC area snowfall on-line with some confusion---this type of precip doesn't cause much of a hiccup here. Most Russian students are still on flu quarantine here but everyone else comes to work.
